(An NZSL Interpreted Improvised show)

Join us for a spontaneous show inspired by you, our audience, and a unique combination of creative improvisers (performing together for the first time!). With NZSL interpreters incorporated and sign language celebrated, it will be a playful exploration of storytelling, games and scenes with a visual twist.
